The Sacramento City Cemetery index states that Mrs. Madah A. Fletcher was from New York, colored, the wife of the late Rev. R. J. Fletcher, and Died on March 21, 1925, at the age of 57, myocarditis. The information about her age at the time of death obviously doesn't coincide with her grave marker or with newspaper clippings about her life.
As an infant, she moved to Sacramento from New York City with her father Samuel B. Hyers and mother Annie E. Hyers (Cryer) in 1856.
The Hyers sisters, Anna Madah and Emma Louise, performed operatic excerpts, art and parlour songs, and jubilee songs and spirituals during their concert tours in the first half of the 1870s. From 1876 to 1883 the sisters performed as part of the ‘Hyers Sisters Combination', managed by their father, Samuel B. Hyers.
Apparently Madah was married 3 times. Her first marriage, reported in the press on September 15, 1883, was to Henderson Smith, a cornet player. Her second marriage, around 1891, was to Harry Stafford, stage manager for Isham's Octoroons. And her third was to Dr. Robert J. Fletcher, a chiropodist, with whom she spent her retirement years back in Sacramento.
